The nexus between stress, physical inactivity and non-communicable diseases may be regulated, in part, by changes in the autonomic nervous system (ANS). ANS function may be measured using a proxy of heart rate variability (HRV). Regular physical activity, controlled breathing and stress reduction have been shown to alter HRV. This paper presents preliminary data from a community-based biokinetics physical activity and mindfulness intervention (Sweet Hearts) on HRV. The study’s findings demonstrated favourable changes in measures of heart rate variability (HRV) – specifically in the low frequency (LF) spectrum that is associated with baroreflex function. The implications of these changes, in terms of health outcomes, along with efforts at addressing scalability and sustainability of community-based health promotion interventions may be important targets for future study.","PeriodicalId":22462,"journal":{"name":"The Egyptian Heart Journal","volume":"7 1","pages":"304-308"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88812352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: A retrospective descriptive case series study was conducted with the aim of describing the characteristics and outcome of children with congenital PVS at an African tertiary care centre over a 25-year period. A computerised paediatric cardiology database initiated in the early 1990s was sourced to identify patients, following which clinical records were retrieved and reviewed. Results: Five cases of congenital PVS were identified between January 1990 and January 2016 and accounted for 0.0007% of all congenital heart defects seen at the centre during the study period. The age at diagnosis ranged from 22 months - 13 years. Most patients presented with respiratory symptoms, with 2 patients presenting with recurrent haemoptysis. The diagnosis of PVS was confirmed by cardiac catheterisation and pulmonary angiography in all patients. All cases were right-sided unilateral PVS and all were associated with one or more congenital heart defects. Mild pulmonary hypertension and elevated capillary wedge pressures were found in all patients. Only one patient underwent specific surgery to relieve the PVS, which subsequently recurred. Another patient underwent a lobectomy following recurrent haemoptysis, but subsequently died of sepsis. Conclusion: Congenital PVS is a rare condition often associated with other congenital cardiac defects. Respiratory symptoms are common at presentation, with haemoptysis forming part of the presenting clinical spectrum, which is in keeping with the published literature. Elevated pulmonary artery pressures and increased ipsilateral pulmonary capillary wedge pressures are a common finding at catheterisation.","PeriodicalId":22462,"journal":{"name":"The Egyptian Heart Journal","volume":"51 1","pages":"318-323"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81770114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
